gollark: I find it more helpful to actually do maths and programming.
gollark: Read some of the textbook and someone's notes, and spent a few hours revising and learning it and stuff, and got 75% on the exam.
gollark: One of my friends did roughly that because they wanted to switch from DT to Economics late in the year.
gollark: There's not very much nuance in any of it, not really anything about how economists don't actually *agree* on everything, and not any maths more complicated than division.
gollark: I also do Economics as an option (we do 7-ish (depends how you count them) required subjects and 3 options here) which seemed interesting but is kind of pointless, since basically all of the stuff they teach for that is pretty simplistic.
